My Top Rosé Proseccos | Three pink Proseccos genuinely worth pouring

Three pink Proseccos genuinely worth pouring.

Rosé Prosecco is no longer a novelty. Since the approval of Prosecco DOC Rosé in 2020, pink Prosecco has secured a firm place on British tables — from supermarket shelves to smart receptions.


But as with all trends, quality varies.

Here are three rosé Proseccos I rate not because they are pink, but because they are properly made, balanced and enjoyable to drink.

Celebrity wines can be hit or miss. This is a hit.

Kylie Minogue’s Prosecco Rosé is consistently bright and polished, with wild strawberry, raspberry and a crisp apple lift. It is Brut in style, so dry rather than sugary, with a clean line of acidity that keeps it refreshing.

What I appreciate most is that it feels deliberate. The Pinot Nero adds just enough red fruit character to justify the colour, without tipping into sweetness. I have poured this at events where guests are sceptical of “pink fizz”, and it quietly wins them over.

It works beautifully as a welcome drink and pairs effortlessly with seafood canapés, smoked salmon or lighter starters.

La Gioiosa produces a textbook example of Prosecco DOC Rosé. The Millesimato (vintage-dated) label signals a little more structure and intent, and you can taste it.


Expect red berry, citrus freshness and a dry, balanced finish. The bubbles are fine rather than frothy, and there is a touch more depth on the palate compared to entry-level pink Prosecco.


This is a bottle I would happily drink.


Supermarket own-label sparkling can be inconsistent. This one is not.

Tesco Finest Prosecco Rosé delivers clean red fruit, a hint of citrus zest and a dry finish that feels far more refined than the price point suggests. It is fun and a good pick.


It proves that pink Prosecco does not have to be expensive to be well made.


Is Rosé Prosecco Worth Buying?

Yes — when chosen carefully.


The addition of Pinot Nero to Glera gives rosé Prosecco a subtle berry note and slightly more structure than classic Prosecco.


The key is balance.

Rosé Prosecco is not about depth or complexity. It is about brightness, ease and pleasure. It works for summer lunches, midweek client drinks and celebratory gatherings where you want something stylish but approachable.


And in my experience, sparkling wine — particularly pink — has a habit of disappearing remarkably quickly. It is often the first drink of the evening, and the one that sets the tone.


Choose well, serve properly chilled, and rosé Prosecco does exactly what it should: it lifts the room without demanding attention.
